Women's Cricket Club - Universities Cricket Club

The Universities Women's Cricket Club was formed in 2001. It is a club dedicated solely to women’s cricket and is backed by both Sydney University and University of NSW.

The club currently has first and third grade teams, along with an U/17 team, competing in the Sydney Women's Grade Competition. The club also has a junior arm which enters two teams catering for players ranging in age from 8 to 15 years old in the Sydney Rivers Junior Cricket Association.

The first grade team boasts Australian internationals Alex Blackwell & Rachael Haynes along with numerous state players. Our current state representatives are all current or former students of the University.

First grade and U/17’s play on Sunday, while 3^rd grade play on Saturday. The matches are a mixture of Twenty 20 and one day format.

Juniors play on Saturdays and play a modified Twenty 20 format.

Currently all the teams train at Sydney University on Oval No.2 or in the synthetic cricket nets. All coaches are accredited by Cricket Australia with our Sydney Grade teams coached by Level 2 coaches.

The women's club caters for experienced players through to beginners. We provide communal equipment to any new players who may not have the necessary equipment to play (ie bat, helmet, pads, gloves etc).

UWCC seeks to attract all university students to join the club whether cricket is your chosen sport or if you are looking to play cricket as a summer sport while still wanting to play other sports such as hockey, soccer, tennis etc in winter.
